Great to hear more people from the UK ! I'm near Manchester myself, and should be attending Manchester MCM on at least one of the days, so hope to meet ya'll there if you're going !

Anybody know what the closest font is for The Division stuff? For example, anybody know what Stitch Me Up is using on their armbands? http://www.stitchmeup.biz/#!product-page/ugkj9/832109d3-b5e2-7633-20d8-2f9f93f3328b

Hey guys, just wanted to say awesome thread!
I am starting to create my SHD Agent costume and I was wondering if anyone knows what this device is on the backpacks? They are usually on the left side of the packs. I've searched all over but still can't find any decent answer and I'm hoping someone here could help out.
Thanks in advance!

I forget exactly which one it is, but those various different devices equip to the backpack as you change the skills your character has equipped. I think that one is the pulse. I have a video over in my RPF thread where I equip all the different skills [in the beta], and then look at the backpack to see what changes.

That's the Pulse, yeah! Switching skills on the fly will change the appearance of whatever equipment you have on your backpack. In that photo on the left I have the Pulse (seen on the pack) and the Support station which is out of view, but mounted on the left hand side of the pack. The second image is pre-release when they were remodeling everything (the pulse in that image has some changes that make it different from the final version).

Great! Thanks for the clarification.
I'm actually looking at doing something like this.
The projector looks nice, but probably not visible in most situations and I'd imagine its a big power draw.
I have a copy of Awesomeness's beacon design on order from Shapeways (if I didn't blow it ... I'm a software guy, not a hardware guy, so 3D printing is a first for me).
Seriously Awesomeness, thanks for making it available (again very not a designer ... more integrator and programmer).
I had already picked up a couple of neopixel rings from Adafruit before I even found this website and you all, so it felt like a good fit.
After it gets here in a week or two I'm going to see how much space there is and start playing a bit to see what components I can I can fit to do what.
Ideally I'd love to have a shoulder module w/lights & sound (have been stockpiling sound clips from on-line) that could be triggered/co-ordinated from an integrated watch but I have to see how realistic it will be for me to put together all the pieces (especially since I've only done something like this once before.
).Base goal is Shoulder Beacon only w/rechargable battery (usb rechargable), lights and on/off switch (probably reasonable depending on space available).
Co-ordinated Sound is next up on my list (Adafruit has what looks like a nice small sound board I can integrate to an arduino based system, and a flat speaker) ... size permitting.
Have started looking at watches, and would LOVE to gut one and have the buttons trigger the action of the Beacon, but not sure how realistic that is (from a fabrication perspective. from a costuming perspective I'd love to do it and it would be cool if possible):
- "repurposing" the buttons on the watch - not sure if I can get them to work ... never pulled one apart and tried
- getting a wireless connection between them - sounds power hungry, would need more components on both sides so there are space questions, and the interfaces for wireless may be needed to connect the sound board
- getting a wired connection between them may be possible, but I'm not very happy to have wires running from my left hand to my right shoulder (unless maybe I make breakaway connectors ... which sounds like a possibility at least ... damn ... now I have to think more seriously about this). There is still the question about the interface between them.
Absolute pie in the sky (as in I'd love to if I could figure out how, but probably wont because the ideas don't make sense time and/or materials wise) would be to fabricate multiple units and get them to "link" (probably via bluetooth low power) so it would know when people "joined/left" your party (and act appropriately), and/or throw in a GPS unit so it knows where it is and designate certain areas as "Contaminated" or "Dark Zone". w/appropriate effects.
I live in NYC and work in Chelsea. The Division had me hooked the minute I saw the multiplayer trailer where they came out of the subway and re-took the BoO. Everything looked "right". It may not be the NYC I live in, but its a really close analogue and I love how many of the visual landmarks are available. Sadly Massive didn't include the building I work in so my dream of "fighting my way to work" from Penn Station (where the BoO is) never actually happened.
(sorry for going on a bit in my first post on therpf ... I get a bit verbose when I get going)
(EditL cleanup rambling a very small amount)

Hi DaoFerret and welcome,
think about this please:
an isac modul with a 2 or 5 watt speaker built in, and a Bluetooth module, to get the chat audio from the game right to your shoulder,
with this usb device you can paire every bluetooth device to the ps4
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01...=B01AP4ECHW&linkCode=as2&tag=httpswwwfa077-21
than you go to settings, devices, audio device and make chat audio only.
there is a step up voltage device to take 5 volt from a powerbank and convert it to 12 volt
http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01...=B015J1KFB8&linkCode=as2&tag=httpswwwfa077-21
the isac module are 2 pieces, one is the upper piece and the other is the bottom piece.
i think about to hide the speaker in the bottom device with fine slits for the audio.

Interesting idea and I'm sure you could use it as a Bluetooth speaker/mic.
Personally I wouldn't want to game with a device stuck to my shoulder, but I completely understand why someone would want to.
If I was looking at that, I would see if a small handfree bluetooth speaker/mic could be gutted and reconfigured for the Beacon case.
That would simplify the problem a lot.

The pulse gizmo on the backpack also changes as you mod the pulse skill. It could be one of those too, not just a pre-release model. In the video I posted, you can see the pulse device change as I change the skill mods.
